Description

The preparation method and its single crystal grain of a kind of micron order copper germanium zinc-tin sulphur single crystal grain and Solar cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to photoelectric semiconductor material and device arts, more particularly, to a kind of micron order copper germanium zinc The preparation method and its single crystal grain and solar cell of tin sulphur single crystal grain.
Background technology
Multi-element compounds CuInGaSe2(CIGS) thin-film solar cells has higher transfer efficiency, is easy to extensive Production becomes at present the solar cell material of most development potentiality, and CIGS batteries are that opto-electronic conversion is imitated in the world at present The highest thin-film solar cells of rate, highest transfer efficiency is up to 21.7%.But its component In and Ga are provided on earth Source lacks, and CIGS hull cell is caused to be difficult to realize terawatt (TW) (109KW) the large-scale application of rank.
Copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (CZTS) base film is considered as most to be hopeful to replace the new of CIGS thin film solar battery obsorbing layer Type compound semiconductor.At present, the transfer efficiency of CZTS based thin film solar cells has reached 12.6%, and according to theoretical model It calculates, the limit transfer efficiency of unijunction CZTS base film batteries is up to 30%, and the two differs greatly, even if current most with CIGS High conversion efficiency 21.7% is compared, and also has larger gap.This illustrates that CZTS base films battery efficiency also has very big promotion Space.The diffusion length of carrier is less than normal in CZTS base films, causes the charge that material depths generates that cannot effectively be collected, device Part transfer efficiency is difficult to be promoted, if can effectively be regulated and controled to CZTS films bandwidth, it will guide and enhance electronics From the depths of film to the diffusion on surface, increase the electric current of device so as to greatly improve charge collection efficiency, improve simultaneously The open-circuit voltage of device is also very crucial for promoting device efficiency.
At present, polynary coevaporation, pulsed laser deposition, sputtering are mainly concentrated in the preparation of CZTS based solar batteries absorbed layer The vacuum technologies such as selenizing vulcanization and hot injection, solvent heat, hydro-thermal method, spray pyrolysis etc. are non-after after cure selenizing, electrochemical filming In vacuum technology, compared with binary and ternary semiconductor, this kind of compound semiconductor of CZTS bases is due to component Increase, cause it that there is more complicated physical property, therefore preparation and the performance of the high efficiency hull cell of this kind of compound Optimization becomes more difficult;The Thermodynamically stable region of CZTS phases is very small simultaneously, and various impurity phases, metastable phase and CZTS are mutual Competition, therefore in CZTS base film preparation process, if being not carried out effective component control, since Partial Elements volatilize, Lead to nonstoichiometry ratio, easily with there are various binary, ternary dephasign and some metastable phases, finally to CZTS base batteries Performance brings adverse effect;When preparing solar cell, the performance of the performance ratio hull cell of single crystal battery is more preferable, still, Traditional Crystal Growth Technique (gas phase transmission technology, fusion technology) is wanted it is difficult to grow and meet solar battery obsorbing layer performance The large size single crystal asked.
